For all my myLot friends - I would like to share some advice that some of my friends on myLot told me about. I thought I'd share it with you, since it can really multiply your earnings on myLot. I have been informed that, when you post/reply to discussions, if you write at least six lines, you will be paid a higher amount for that, than if you were to just write one or two lines. If you can keep your sentences short, then six lines is not a lot ! So friends, try to keep this advice in mind for your future discussions and the money start to add up quicker than it was before.

My first stop was the hand pump located at the edge of the village. It took some effort to bring the water up and I wondered how silly I looked pumping the handle. After quenching my thirst with the ice cold water, I headed off to the temple just around the bend. Its boundary gate was still open and I wandered in looking to see if I could find some solace for my stressed out life. It was a small one with just one deity inside, yet the Peepal tree inside the temple compound offered me the shade to relax and meditate/reflect on the past events. The old temple priest was fast asleep on a cot under the same tree unmindful of the crows which was going caw caw on a tree branch on top of him.

The shrill cry of the encircling hawks far above was probably the reason why the crows were acting the way they were. They were on the hunt for some prey and kept going round and round for a great length of time. Time flew by and it was getting late. The priest had woken up from his slumber and went off to take a bath and a change of clothes. The evening prayers were due shortly, so he’ll be back shortly. I took my leave shortly after and went back to my car to see what the situation was. The traffic mess had cleared up to a great extent and the fruit/vegetable vendors were starting to set up road side stall on each side of the road. It was time to move before I got blocked in.
